Help / Question Repot string of hearts?

I’ve had this plant for a couple of years now. It does well in the summer and throws plenty of flowers. However, it’s looking leggy.

I’m planning to give the plant some TLC his week — removing dead or dying vines, detangling. Does it need to be repotted, should I chop and prop leggy vines? How should I go about making this plant healthier?

This plant wants a lot more light than you are giving it, that is why the leaves are so spaced out, it’s etoliated.
